HISTORY

The Ferrari 312P Coupe is a car that participated in the 24 Hours of Le Mans 1969. After the scorching defeats suffered in 1966 by the Ford in the Sport Prototype Championship, the Maranello team replaced the Ferrari P3 with the new model P4. Designed by Piero Drogo, the car was much more powerful and underwent some changes during the season.

The Italian SPA Ferrari Sefac team with Pedro Rodriguez and David Piper at the wheel of the Ferrari 312P Coupe n.19 did not finish in the 24 Hours of Le Mans 1969 due to broken gearbox after two hundred twenty-three laps.
The challenge between the Italian team and the Ford American, proved to be very beautiful. The race won by Ford MK IV n.1 of Gurney and Foyt, in second place the Ferrari 330 P4 n.21 with Ludovico Scarfiotti and Mike Parkes, while in third position the Ferrari 330 P4 n.24 with Willy Mairesse, ‘Beurlys’ Jean Blaton. At the end of the season, Enzo Ferrari was content with the victory of the Sport Prototype Championship.
